Allys Gliding Standing Frame
Donation protected
Ally Poole sustained a T12 Spinal Cord Injury from a motor vehicle accident in January 2015. Ally continues to push forward every day. With her determination and faith in God she continues to work hard in hopes she will regain movement in her legs. Those that follow Ally on social media know she works so hard to keep her strength up and she has the most inspiring and positive attitude through it all. After nearly 2 years of being in a wheel chair she has lost so much muscle mass in her legs. It is very important to continue to work those muscles in order to keep them strong if she will ever regain use of her legs. Along with improving circulation and other issues anyone with an SCI has to endure on a daily basis that are all secondary to the paralyzation. While in rehab at The Shepherd Center they regularly put her in a standing frame to help those muscles and help with circulation. Ally has always wanted a standing frame at home but financially we can not provide one for her. If she could get a standing frame it would help improve her health and lifestyle in so many ways.
Here are some of the medical benefits of standing:
Passive standing has been demonstrated to prevent, reverse, or improve many of the adverse effects of prolonged immobilization.
The most widely accepted medical benefits of standing include:
Prevention of contractures (ankles, knees, and hips)Improvement of range of motion (spine, hips, knees and ankles), Reduction in spasticity,
Prevention or reversal of osteoporosis and resultant hypercalciurial,
Improvement of renal function, drainage of the urinary tract, and reduction in urinary calculi,
Prevention of pressure ulcers through changing positions,
Improvement in circulation as it related to orthostatic hypotension,
Improvement in bowel function,
Normalization of respiratory function
Improve Hip Integrity,
Develop or improve motor skills, and
Maintain or re-gain bone density.
Other specific reasons that people stand include:
Facilitation of a natural symmetrical standing posture,
Development & improvement of upper body balance & strength,
Alleviation of pain caused by prolonged or inappropriate position and sitting
Improvement of standing tolerance & endurance, and
Lessening in progressive scoliosis.
Im launching this campaign to help aid in the purchase of a standing frame for Ally. She has been blessed in so many ways and I would love to bless her even more, help her to continue to move forward, and reach her goal of walking again! No matter how little or how big of donation all are greatly appreciated and will be a huge blessing to Ally. If your not able to give please continue to keep her in your prayers and pray for blessing to be bestowed on her in this journey.
For more info you can visit easystand.com for the Easy Stand Standing Frames. She would need the gliding to help improve movement and muscle mass.
Love to all!
